Early Childhood Development

Family Futures Resource Network provides excellent early childhood programs and services, both registered and online. These programs offer parents and caregivers opportunities and experiences to support their children in their social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and development. These programs also provide a natural environment for families to build social connections and increase protective factors for children.

Birth–5 Years

To promote a safe and engaging experience for both caregivers and children, we apply a ratio of 1 caregiver to 3 children in early childhood programs, unless stated otherwise.

If you need any additional resources, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 780-413-4521. We have created some online programs, services and support options. These are on each program page, the At-Home Family Fun page, and our YouTube channel.

Beginning January 2026, due to rising costs, Family Futures Resource Network will be implementing a fee for some of the programs.
